Utah and Minnesota win on the road
by Adrien Corbel (iDalgo)
Yet lower ranked than their opponents at the end of the regular season, the Utah Jazz and the Minnesota Timberwolves started the play-offs perfectly on the move overnight from Saturday to Sunday. The first cities took advantage of Luka Doncic’s calf injury to beat the Dallas Mavericks (99-93) thanks in particular to a strong defensive performance from Rudy Gobert (5 points, 17 rebounds). The latter got the better of the Memphis Grizzlies (130-117) with 36 points from Anthony Edwards. Minnesota players took the lead during the first quarter (41-33) and didn’t let go until the end of the match.
